Smallville Review: "Echo"

By | Oct 17, 2009 | Reviews

“Echo?” The title’s “Echo?” This isn’t a crossover with Dollhouse, is it? In tonight’s episode, we see the return of Toyman, a long running, if slightly odd character in Superman’s Rogue’s Gallery. Upset about the fact he was framed by Oliver Queen in the “death” of Lex Luthor, he’s bent on revenge. So how was […]

Friday Recommendation: JLA Earth 2

By | Oct 16, 2009 | Columns

It’s no secret that we here on Multiversity Comics love our Grant Morrison. More often than not, we find his books the most challenging, the most engaging, and more importantly, the most fun. And when he’s paired with an artist like Frank Quitely, well something special happens where the sum is greater than its parts. […]

Character Anti-Spotlight: The Red Hulk

By | Oct 14, 2009 | Columns

When we first came up with the concept of Character Spotlights, it was in order to help give certain characters a boost in fandom. Of course, David managed to sneak in there a little bit of an anti-spotlight one day (in regards to The Sentry), and thus the Anti-Spotlight was born. Something has been brewing […]

LCBS Spotlight: New England Comics

By | Oct 13, 2009 | Columns

This is a new feature I’d been meaning to implement for a while now, and with our site hits picking up, I believe it’s definitely time to bring it out! The single most important thing to any comic book nerd anywhere on the planet is his LCBS, or Local Comic Book Shop/Store. Without these, there […]

Much to the chagrin of comic book fans across the nation, the distributor of basically every mainstream comic out there announced that they are not going to be shipping comics on the last week of the year. That’s right – Diamond Comic Distributors are not going to be sending stores any new mainstream titles (besides […]

By | Oct 12, 2009 | News

Saw this on the interwebs and thought it was worth showing. Below is the box art for the upcoming Marvel animated film, Planet Hulk. The reason this is worth showing is because the box art was done by none other than Alex Ross, who I believe is one of the most talented men in the […]

By | Oct 12, 2009 | News

This past weekend at the Baltimore Comic-Con, the Harvey Awards took place. The Harvey Awards are a comprehensive comic book awards ceremony, covering many different categories (as you will see after the jump) and doing something unique that arguably makes them better than the Eisner Awards: they’re entirely voted on by comic creators themselves.
